I hate jokes about animals They are so irrelephant

Evening all.  I have got this week off work and today we went to the Zoo.  Twice.  Once, when my daughter was at school, and because we have some passes to Colchester Zoo, we went again once we had picked her up.  They both loved it, not just because of a new play area, but also because they got to see loads of animals.   Almost all of which they have seen before, but then, the joy is in watching them as well.  And as they grow, they get different things out of the Zoo, especially as at the moment they love to watch Roar in the mornings.


I am knackered now, but in a good way.  And it was great to spend time with both of them.
If I had a pound for every time David Cameron said he was going to sort the countries problems out, I'd be rich enough to live under a Tory government

CALENDAR FACT: All the seasons are named after coils of metal.
Except Winter and Summer.
And Autumn. 


I came home from the pub four hours late last night.
"Where have you been?" screamed my wife.
I said, "I've been playing poker with some blokes."
"Playing poker with some blokes?" she repeated. "Well, you can pack your bags and go!"
"So can you" I said, "This isn't our house anymore."

Only in Norwich would you get Cadbury's Fingers in 12 packs

What's got 10 fingers and comes from Norwich?
A box of Bird's Eye
Right, I have watched the match now. And things were bad. Really bad.  The first goal from Norwich was down to poor defending, the same with the second, which although a deflection, had three Norwich players against two Arsenal defenders and the last one, again was terrible defending.  Not a way to finish the last home match of the season!  At least the Scum only drew and Newcastle lost.  It comes down to the last game of the season, and unless we win our last game, we are not likely to finish in third place.  If we lose, we could even end up in sixth place!

Didn't even know the Dutch were at war with France, now Hollande is in charge, typical surrender monkeys.

Evening all.

It has been a good day today.  My wife has had a much deserved day away from the kids and that left me in charge.

Muhahahaha!

Seriously though, we watched the end of Attack of the Clones, ate, played, had fun, walked into town to watch Beauty and the Beast (in 3D).  Came back,  this being a nice walk finding new ways home, played, had fun.  They did some dancing, in fact a bit of dancing which both love to do.  Days like this are precious as I do not get to spend as much time with them as I would love to spend, and they grow up so quickly.  They do love watching Star Wars, which is just as well, as I do as well.  And they loved Beauty and the Beast.  They have watched it before on DVD, and Belle is one of the more acceptable Disney rolemodels as she is smart.  As a story, I think that it is a good one, the film appealing to both adults and kids.  The music can be irritating at times, but as noted, this is a film for children which is suitable for adults.  The change from 2D to 3D was great and well worth watching in the big screen.  Not sure that I would have liked to have spent as much money as I did, but my daughter is learning how to dance on Wednesday's which means that we can no longer take advantage of Orange Wednesday's for now.
Anyway, quick post about other things as well.  Politics have been interesting. The Con-Dems have been hammered in most the polls.  Red Ken did not win in London which is a shame.  Otherwise it was a good day for Labour.  My mother thinks that I am a Liberal Democrat, because I have voted for them where I live.  But, I would rather vote Labour.  It is just that in the council ward in which I live, there is no point.  Either I have a Tory in charge, or I have a Liberal Democrat councillor.  And the same applies with the parliamentary seat.  As much as I would rather vote Labour, I would rather not let the Conservatives gain anything.  Saying that, I do not agree with everything that Labour are in favour of.  It is just that my view with politics is to vote for the party with which you disagree with the least.  And I have much more in common with Labour than I have with the other parties.  Come the next election, I might risk the Conservatives taking this seat and vote with my heart and not with my head.  It depends on how the local MP does when it comes to issues that are faced.

Arsenal also are lucky.  The Scum failed to win, and Newcastle also lost which meant that we are still in third place.  Through luck.  I am gutted that Liverpool lost yesterday as I do not want Chelski to win anything.  And guess what, a controversial decision yet again gave them the game, though this time it appears to have been a correct one.  Come the European cup final, I will be doing the unthinkable and will be supporting the Germans.  My perfect finish to the season would be with Arsenal on top, but that is not going to happen.  So, I am hoping for a third place finish, with Newcastle next, the Scum afterwards and Chelski in fifth and coming up runners up in the European Cup.  But with the 'luck' that Chelski have had, I doubt that will take place.  There is even a chance that we can finish in sixth place the way the table is right now!

The link above is with relation to the recent video about a child who had an encounter with a lion at the zoo. Or rather would have if not for the glass. But, I think that the one above is far better.

David Cameron, Boris Johnson and Theresa May walk into a bar.
Who buys the drinks? We do.

Oh the irony.... 

How many Tories does it take to change a lightbulb?
100 - 1 to evaluate the bulb, 99 to host a dinner to decide how to convince the public that the blown bulb is Labour's fault and they'll have to accept the old bulb in the current economic climate.
